  • GRAND TOUR (2016)

    Grand Selskapslokaler, Bergen Performative installation, one night only. Scenography, costumes, choreography, props, live DJ set, edible props, gift bags.     Welcome to the GRAND TOUR. The trip you are ready to embark on is safe, and you will at no point be asked to do anything weird, interact or choose sides in difficult socio political matters. We just want you to have fun. Please choose a face, and take the rabbit with you. Relax, and enjoy. Bon voyage! The Norwegian artist collective WALK OF SHAME hosted Bergen’s great old venue GRAND BERGEN for one night only. Over the course of a few hours, an audience was invited to explore this space lodged in the middle of the city center, yet hidden from everyday life. ​ This journey took the form of an epic drama, a psychedelic out-of-body-experience, an extravagant culinary adventure, a spectacular mental voyage, an extraordinary happening or simply a night out on the town, drinking with your friends.

  • LIQUID CREATURES (2024)

    Performance (Forest, 10 volunteers, packed edible ingredients, stuffed deer head)

    LIQUID CREATURES was a one night only walk in the forest, based on the derives of the situationist movement and the theories about liquid modernity by Zygmunt Baumann.

    THE PERFORMANCE unfolded as a nocturnal procession through the forest — part ritual, part concert, part collective dream. The audience was guided by a strange hostess, black metal tourists, silver-clad women and a neon keyboardist, encountering altars of glowing shells, soft lights and shifting sounds along the path. In a clearing, volunteers and guests shared a meal, music and phosphorescent slime, forming a brief fellowship under the banner Power is a Hidden Force. What began as a walk became a temporary society — fragile, absurd and tender — where strangers mirrored each other in the flicker of a small lake and bass tones. For a moment, we imagined another way of being together, before descending the mountain as if nothing had happened.

    The performance was made possible with the support from Bergen kommune.
